The Registrar will publish a notice in the Gazette to say your name has been removed. You have to pay for the expenses of publishing the notice. The Registrar will remove your name if they get written notice that your deemed registration has ceased for a reason set out in section 28(1)(a) or section 28(1)(c) to (e) of the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997.
